Wood plastic composite (WPC) for extrusion and injection moulding Wood plastic composite (WPC) is a new material that is experiencing high growth rates worldwide. The new composite material consists of wood, plastics and...

In some applications, a multiple material extrusion can eliminate the need to assemble several discrete extrusions. For instance, instead of having a separate rigid and flexible extrusion, the polymers can be combined to make one profile.

Composite formulations must be adjusted to meet processing requirements (e. freeflowing pellets that can be reheated and formed into products by a variety of processing methods.WPC The majority of WPCs are manufactured by profile extrusion in which molten composite material is forced through a die to make a continuous profile of the desired shape.

Wood Plastic Composites (WPC) belong to a group of natural fiber-reinforced compounds in which wood fibers (or ... so-called direct extrusion process. The mixing of the wood fibers with the plastic granules (compounding) ... strength of the composite material are also greatly improved (figure 3). Furthermore, the ability to withstand ...
